Chapter 8. Using the 3scale operator to configure and provision 3scale
As a 3scale administrator, you can use the 3scale operator to configure 3scale services and provision 3scale resources. You use the operator in the OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) user interface. Using the operator is an alternative to configuring and provisioning 3scale in the Admin Portal or by using the 3scale internal API.
When you use the 3scale operator to configure a service or provision a resource the only way to update that service or resource is to update its custom resource (CR). While new services and resources appear in the Admin Portal, you cannot update the service or resource in the Admin Portal or by using the internal 3scale API. If you try to, the operator reverts updates and the CR remains as it was.
3scale operator for capabilities is a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process. For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Technology Preview features, see Technology Preview Features Support Scope.
This chapter includes details about how operator application capabilities work and how to use the operator to deploy custom resources:
Additionally, there is information about the limitations of capabilities when using the 3scale operator.
8.1. General prerequisites Link kopierenLink in die Zwischenablage kopiert!
To configure and provision 3scale by using the 3scale operator, these are the required elements:
- A user account with administrator privileges for 3scale 2.11 On-Premises instance
- 3scale operator installed.
OpenShift Container Platform 4 with a user account that has administrator privileges in the OpenShift cluster.
- Note: OCP 4 supports deployment of 3scale using the operator only.
- For more information about supported configurations, see the Red Hat 3scale API Management Supported Configurations page.
8.2. Application capabilities via the 3scale operator Link kopierenLink in die Zwischenablage kopiert!
The 3scale operator contains these featured capabilities:
- Allows interaction with the underlying Red Hat 3scale API Management solution.
- Manages the 3scale application declaratively using custom resources from OpenShift.
The diagram below shows 3scale entities and relations that are eligible for management using OpenShift custom resources in a declarative way. Products contain one or more backends. At the product level, you can configure applications, application plans, as well as mapping rules. At the backend level, you can set up metrics, methods and mapping rules for each backend.
The 3scale operator provides custom resource definitions and their relations, which are visible in the following diagram.
8.3. Deploying your first 3scale product and backend Link kopierenLink in die Zwischenablage kopiert!
Using Openshift Container Platform in your newly created tenant, you will deploy your first 3scale product and backend with the minimum required configuration.
Prerequisites
The same installation requirements as listed in General prerequisites, with these considerations:
- The 3scale account can be local in the working OpenShift namespace or a remote installation.
- The required parameters from this account are the 3scale Admin URL address and the access token.
Procedure
Create a secret for the 3scale provider account using the credentials from the 3scale Admin Portal. For example:
adminURL=https://3scale-admin.example.comandtoken=123456.oc create secret generic threescale-provider-account --from-literal=adminURL=https://3scale-admin.example.com --from-literal=token=123456
oc create secret generic threescale-provider-account --from-literal=adminURL=https://3scale-admin.example.com --from-literal=token=123456Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow Configure the 3scale backend with the upstream API URL:
Create a YAML file with the following content:
Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow - Once you create the file, the operator will confirm if the step was successful.
- For more details about the fields of Backend custom resource and possible values, see the Backend CRD Reference.
Create a custom resource:
oc create -f backend1.yaml
oc create -f backend1.yamlCopy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow
Configure the 3scale product:
Create a product with all the default settings applied to the previously created backend:
Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow - Once you create the file, the operator will confirm if the step was successful.
- For more details about the fields of the Product custom resource and possible values, see the Product CRD Reference.
Create a custom resource:
oc create -f product1.yaml
oc create -f product1.yamlCopy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow
Created custom resources will take a few seconds to populate your 3scale instance. To confirm when resources are synchronized, you can choose one of these alternatives:
- Verify the status field of the object.
Use the
oc waitcommands:oc wait --for=condition=Synced --timeout=-1s backend/backend1 oc wait --for=condition=Synced --timeout=-1s product/product1
oc wait --for=condition=Synced --timeout=-1s backend/backend1 oc wait --for=condition=Synced --timeout=-1s product/product1Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow
8.4. Promoting a product’s APIcast configuration Link kopierenLink in die Zwischenablage kopiert!
Using the 3scale operator, you can promote the product’s APIcast configuration to staging or production. The ProxyConfigPromote custom resource (CR) promotes the latest APIcast configuration to the staging environment. Optionally, you can configure the ProxyConfigPromote CR to promote to the production environment as well.
ProxyConfigPromote objects only take effect when created. After creation, any updates on them are not reconciled.
Prerequisites
The same installation requirements as listed in General prerequisites, including:
- Have a product CR already created.
Procedure
Create and save a YAML file with the following content:
Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow To promote the APIcast configuration to the production environment, set the optional field
spec.productiontotrue:Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow To delete the
ProxyConfigPromote objectafter a successful promotion, set the optional fieldspec.deleteCRtotrue:Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow To check the status condition of the file, type the following command:
oc get proxyconfigpromote proxyconfigpromote-sample -o yaml
oc get proxyconfigpromote proxyconfigpromote-sample -o yamlCopy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow The output should show the satus is
Ready:Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow
Create the custom resource:
oc create -f proxyconfigpromote-sample.yaml
oc create -f proxyconfigpromote-sample.yamlCopy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow For the given example, the output would be:
proxyconfigpromote.capabilities.3scale.net/proxyconfigpromote-sample created

8.5. How the 3scale operator identifies the tenant that a custom resource links to Link kopierenLink in die Zwischenablage kopiert!
You can deploy 3scale custom resources (CRs) to manage a variety of 3scale objects. A 3scale CR links to exactly one tenant.
If the 3scale operator is installed in the same namespace as 3scale the default behavior is that a 3scale CR links to that 3scale instance’s default tenant. To link a 3scale CR to a different tenant, you can do one of the following:
Create the
threescale-provider-accountsecret in the namespace that contains the 3scale CR. When you deploy a 3scale CR, the operator reads this secret to identify the tenant that the CR links to. For the operator to use this secret, one of the following must be true:-
The 3scale CR specifies the
spec.providerAccountReffield as null. The 3scale CR omits the
spec.providerAccountReffield.The
threescale-provider-accountsecret identifies the tenant that the CR links to. The secret must contain a reference to a 3scale instance in the form of a URL and credentials for accessing a tenant in that 3scale instance in the form of a token. For example:oc create secret generic threescale-provider-account --from-literal=adminURL=https://3scale-admin.example.com --from-literal=token=123456
oc create secret generic threescale-provider-account --from-literal=adminURL=https://3scale-admin.example.com --from-literal=token=123456Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow The
threescale-provider-accountsecret can identify any tenant in any 3scale instance as long as the HTTP connection is available. In other words, a 3scale CR and the 3scale instance that contains the tenant that the CR links to can be in different namespaces, or in different OpenShift clusters.
-
The 3scale CR specifies the
In the 3scale CR, specify
spec.providerAccountRefand set it to the name of a local reference to an OpenShiftSecretthat identifies the tenant. In the following 3scaleDeveloperAccountCR example,mytenantis the secret:Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow In the secret:
-
adminURLspecifies the URL for a 3scale instance that can be in any namespace. tokenspecifies credentials for access to one tenant in that 3scale instance. This tenant can be the default tenant or any other tenant in that instance.Typically, when you deploy a tenant custom resource you create this secret. For example:
Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow
-
If the 3scale operator cannot identify the tenant that a CR links to, the operator generates an error message.
8.6. Deploying 3scale OpenAPI custom resources Link kopierenLink in die Zwischenablage kopiert!
An OpenAPI custom resource (CR) is one way to import an OpenAPI Specification (OAS) document that you can use for ActiveDocs in the Developer Portal. The OAS is a standard that does not tie you to using one particular programming language for your APIs. Humans and computers can more easily understand the capabilities of the API product without source code access, documentation, or network traffic inspection.
Prerequisites
- A user account with administrator privileges for a 3scale 2.11 On-Premises instance.
- An OAS document that defines your API.
-
An understanding of how an
OpenAPICR links to a tenant.
8.6.1. Deploying a 3scale OpenAPI custom resource that imports an OAS document from a secret Link kopierenLink in die Zwischenablage kopiert!
Deploy an OpenAPI custom resource (CR) so that you can create 3scale backends and products.
The operator reads only the content in the secret. The operator does not read the field name in the secret.
Prerequisites
You understand How the 3scale operator identifies the tenant that a custom resource links to.
Procedure
Define a secret that contains an OAS document. For example, you might create the
myoasdoc1.yamlwith this content:Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow Create the secret. For example:
oc create secret generic myoasdoc1 --from-file myoasdoc1.yaml
$ oc create secret generic myoasdoc1 --from-file myoasdoc1.yaml secret/myoasdoc1 createdCopy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow Define your
OpenAPICR. Be sure to specify a reference to the secret that contains your OAS document. For example, you might create themyopenapicr1.yamlfile:Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow Create the resource you just defined. For example:
oc create -f myopenapicr1.yaml
$ oc create -f myopenapicr1.yamlCopy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow For the given example, the output would be:
openapi.capabilities.3scale.net/myopenapicr1 created
openapi.capabilities.3scale.net/myopenapicr1 createdCopy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow
8.6.2. Features of 3scale OpenAPI custom resource definitions Link kopierenLink in die Zwischenablage kopiert!
Knowledge of the OpenAPI custom resource definition (CRD) deployment features will help you with configuration of the 3scale product, backend, and the subsequent creation of ActiveDocs for the Developer Portal.
The OAS document can be read from the following:
- The Kubernetes secret
- The URL in both http and https formats
-
In an OAS document, the
info.titlesetting must not exceed 215 characters. The operator uses this setting to create OpenShift object names, which have length limitations. -
Only the first
servers[0].urlelement in a server list is parsed as a private URL. The OpenAPI Specification (OAS) uses itsbasePathcomponent ofservers[0].urlelement. -
The
OpenAPICRD supports a single top level security requirement, however it does not support operational level security. -
The
OpenAPICRD supports theapiKeysecurity scheme.
Additional resources
8.6.3. Import rules when defining OpenAPI custom resources Link kopierenLink in die Zwischenablage kopiert!
The import rules specify how the OpenAPI Specification (OAS) works with 3scale when you are setting up an OpenAPI document for your 3scale deployment.
Product name
The default product system name is taken from the info.title field in the OpenAPI document. To override the product name in an OpenAPI document, specify the spec.productSystemName field in an OpenAPI custom resource (CR).
Private base URL
The private base URL is read from the OpenAPI CR servers[0].url field. You can override this by using the spec.privateBaseURL field in your OpenAPI CR.
3scale methods
Each operation that is defined in the imported OpenAPI document translates to one 3scale method at the product level. The method name is read from the operationId field of the operation object.
3scale mapping rules
Each operation that is defined in the imported OpenAPI document translates to one 3scale mapping rule at the product level. Previously existing mapping rules are replaced by those imported with the OpenAPI CR.
In an OpenAPI document, the paths object provides mapping rules for verb and pattern properties. 3scale methods are associated accordingly to the operationId.
The delta value is hard-coded to 1.
By default, Strict matching policy is configured. Matching policy can be switched to Prefix matching using the spec.PrefixMatching field of the OpenAPI CRD.
Authentication
Just one top level security requirement is supported. Operation level security requirements are not supported.
The supported security scheme is apiKey.
The apiKey security scheme type:
-
credentials location will be read from the OpenAPI document
infield of the security scheme object. -
Auth user key will be read from the OpenAPI document
namefield of the security scheme object.
The following is a partial example of OAS 3.0.2 with apiKey security requirement:
When the OpenAPI document does not specify any security requirements, the following applies:
-
The product authentication will be configured for
apiKey. -
credentials location will default to 3scale value
As query parameters (GET) or body parameters (POST/PUT/DELETE). -
The Auth user key defaults to 3scale value
user_key.
3scale Authentication Security can be set using the spec.privateAPIHostHeader and the spec.privateAPISecretToken fields of the OpenAPI CRD.
ActiveDocs
No 3scale ActiveDoc is created.
3scale product policy chain
The 3scale policy chain is the default one 3scale creates.
3scale deployment mode
By default, the configured 3scale deployment mode will be APIcast 3scale managed. However, when the spec.productionPublicBaseURL or the spec.stagingPublicBaseURL, or both fields are present in an OpenAPI CR, the product’s deployment mode is APIcast self-managed.
Example of a OpenAPI CR with custom public base URL:
8.6.4. Deploying a 3scale OpenAPI custom resource that imports an OAS document from a URL Link kopierenLink in die Zwischenablage kopiert!
You can deploy an OpenAPI custom resource that imports an OAS document from a URL that you specify. You can then use this OAS document as the foundation for ActiveDocs for your API in the Developer Portal.
Prerequisites
If you are creating an
OpenAPIcustom resource that does not link to the default tenant in the 3scale instance that is in the same namespace then the namespace that will contain theOpenAPICR contains a secret that identifies the tenant that theOpenAPICR links to. The name of the secret is one of the following:-
threescale-provider-account - User defined
This secret contains the URL for a 3scale instance and a token that contains credentials for access to one tenant in that 3scale instance.
-
Procedure
- In your OpenShift account, navigate to Operators > Installed operators.
- Click the 3scale operator.
- Choose the YAML tab.
Create an
OpenAPIcustom resource. For example:Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow -
Click Save. It takes a few seconds for the 3scale operator to create the
OpenAPICR.
Verification
-
In OpenShift, in the 3scale Product Overview page, confirm that the Synced condition is marked as
True. - Go to your 3scale account.
-
Confirm that the OAS document is present. For the example above, you would see a new OAS document named
openapi1.

You can use a CustomPolicyDefinition CRD to configure your custom policy in a 3scale product from the Admin Portal.
When the 3scale operator finds a new CustomPolicyDefinition CR, the operator identifies the tenant that owns the CR as described in How the 3scale operator identifies the tenant that a custom resource links to.
Prerequisites
- The 3scale operator is installed.
- You have a custom policy file ready to be deployed.
- You have already injected the custom policy in the gateway.

8.11. Deploying a tenant custom resource Link kopierenLink in die Zwischenablage kopiert!
A tenant custom resource is also known as the Provider Account.
Creating the APIManager custom resource indicates the operator to deploy 3scale. A default 3scale installation includes a default tenant ready to be used. Optionally, you may create other tenants creating tenant custom resource objects.
Prerequisites
To deploy a new tenant in your 3scale instance, you need some preparation steps:
Obtain or create the 3scale master credentials secret: MASTER_SECRET
You can perform tenant management tasks by only using the 3scale master account credentials, preferably an access token. You have the following options:
-
If the tenant resource is created in the same namespace as 3scale, the secret with master account credentials has been created already and it is called
system-seed. If the tenant resource is not created in the same namespace as 3scale, create a secret with the master account credentials. In this command, the name of the secret is optional. The secret name will be used in the tenant custom resource:
oc create secret generic system-seed --from-literal=MASTER_ACCESS_TOKEN=<master access token>
oc create secret generic system-seed --from-literal=MASTER_ACCESS_TOKEN=<master access token>Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow
-
If the tenant resource is created in the same namespace as 3scale, the secret with master account credentials has been created already and it is called
Create a new secret to store the password for the admin account of the new tenant: ADMIN_SECRET. In this command, the name of the secret is optional. The secret name will be used in the tenant custom resource.
oc create secret generic ecorp-admin-secret --from-literal=admin_password=<admin password value>
oc create secret generic ecorp-admin-secret --from-literal=admin_password=<admin password value>Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow Get the 3scale master account hostname: MASTER_HOSTNAME. When you deploy 3scale using the operator, the master account has a fixed URL with this pattern:
master.${wildcardDomain}If you have access to the namespace where 3scale is installed, get the master account hostname:
oc get routes --field-selector=spec.to.name==system-master -o jsonpath="{.items[].spec.host}"oc get routes --field-selector=spec.to.name==system-master -o jsonpath="{.items[].spec.host}"Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow
Procedure
Deploy the new tenant custom resource:
Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow Create the tenant resource:
oc create -f <yaml-name>
oc create -f <yaml-name>Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow - This command triggers the creation of a new tenant in your 3scale solution.
- The 3scale operator will create a new secret and store the new tenant credentials in the secret.
-
The new tenant
provider_keyandadmin domain urlwill be stored in a secret. -
The secret location can be specified using the
tenantSecretReftenant specification key.
As a reference, this is an example of the created secret content:
For more details about the fields of tenant custom resource and possible values, see the Tenant CRD Reference.
8.12. Managing 3scale developers by deploying custom resources Link kopierenLink in die Zwischenablage kopiert!
As a 3scale administrator, you can use custom resources (CRs) to deploy developer accounts that group together individual developer users. These accounts let you organize and manage developer access to 3scale-managed APIs in the Developer Portal.
A tenant can contain any number of developer accounts and each developer account links to exactly one tenant. A developer account can contain any number of developer users and each developer user links to exactly one developer account. The tenant plan determines any limits on how many developer accounts you can create and how many developer users can be grouped in each developer account.
To use developer custom resources, 3scale must have been installed by the 3scale operator. You can deploy developer custom resources in only the namespace that contains the 3scale operator. Deployment of developer custom resources is an alternative to managing developers by using the 3scale Admin Portal or the 3scale internal API.
When you create developer accounts or developer users by deploying custom resources you cannot use the Admin Portal or the internal 3scale API to update those developer accounts or developer users. It is important to be aware of this because after you deploy a developer CR, the Admin Portal displays the new developer account or new developer user in its Accounts page. If you try to use the Admin Portal or API to update a developer account or developer user that was deployed with a CR, the 3scale operator reverts the changes to reflect the deployed CR. This is a limitation that is expected to be removed in a future release. You can, however, use the Admin Portal or API to delete a developer account or developer user that you created by deploying a CR.
8.12.1. Prerequisites Link kopierenLink in die Zwischenablage kopiert!
- 3scale was installed by the 3scale operator.
-
Access token with read and write permissions in the
Account ManagementAPI scope, which provides administrator privileges for 3scale.
8.12.2. Managing 3scale developer accounts by deploying DeveloperAccount custom resources Link kopierenLink in die Zwischenablage kopiert!
When you use the 3scale operator to install 3scale you can deploy DeveloperAccount and DeveloperUser custom resources (CRs). These CRs let you create and update accounts for developer access to 3scale-managed APIs in the Developer Portal.
To deploy a new DeveloperAccount CR, you must also deploy a DeveloperUser CR for a user who has the admin role. The procedure provided here is for deploying a new DeveloperAccount CR. After you deploy a DeveloperAccount CR, the procedure for updating or deleting it is the same as for any other CR.
You can deploy CRs only in the namespace that contains the 3scale operator.
Prerequisites
- An understanding of how the 3scale operator identifies the tenant that a custom resource links to.
If you are creating a
DeveloperAccountcustom resource that does not link to the default tenant in the 3scale instance that is in the same namespace then the namespace that will contain theDeveloperAccountCR contains a secret that identifies the tenant that theDeveloperAccountCR links to. The name of the secret is one of the following:-
threescale-provider-account - User defined
This secret contains the URL for a 3scale instance and a token that contains credentials for access to one tenant in that 3scale instance.
-
-
You have the user name, password, and email address for at least one developer user who will have the
adminrole in the newDeveloperAccountCR.
Procedure
In the namespace that contains the 3scale operator, create and save a resource file that defines a secret that contains the user name and password for a developer user who will have the
adminrole in the new developer account resource. For example, themyusername01.yamlfile might contain:Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow Create the secret. For example:
oc create -f myusername01.yaml
oc create -f myusername01.yamlCopy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow For the given example, the output would be:
secret/myusername01 created
secret/myusername01 createdCopy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow Create and save a
.yamlfile that defines aDeveloperUserCR for a developer who has theadminrole. ThisDeveloperUserCR is required for the 3scale operator to deploy a newDeveloperAccountCR. For example, thedeveloperuser01.yamlfile might contain:Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow In a
DeveloperUserCR:-
The developer user account name, user name, and email must be unique in the tenant that the containing
DeveloperAccountlinks to. -
The developer account name that you specify here must match the name of the
DeveloperAccountCR that you are deploying in this procedure. It does not matter whether you create theDeveloperAccountCR before or after you create thisDeveloperUserCR. -
The tenant that a
DeveloperUserCR links to must be the same tenant that the specifiedDeveloperAccountCR links to.
-
The developer user account name, user name, and email must be unique in the tenant that the containing
Create the resource you just defined. For example:
oc create -f developeruser01.yaml
oc create -f developeruser01.yamlCopy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow For the given example, the output would be:
developeruser.capabilities.3scale.net/developeruser01 created
developeruser.capabilities.3scale.net/developeruser01 createdCopy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow Create and save a
.yamlfile that defines aDeveloperAccountCR. In this.yamlfile, thespec.OrgNamefield must specify an organization name. For example, thedeveloperaccount01.yamlfile might contain:Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow Create the resource you just defined. For example:
oc create -f developeraccount01.yaml
oc create -f developeraccount01.yamlCopy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow For the given example, the output would be:
developeraccount.capabilities.3scale.net/developeraccount01 created
developeraccount.capabilities.3scale.net/developeraccount01 createdCopy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow
Next steps
It takes a few seconds for the 3scale operator to update the 3scale configuration to reflect new or updated custom resources. To check whether the operator is propagating custom resource information successfully, check the DeveloperAccount custom resource status field or run the oc wait command, for example:
oc wait --for=condition=Ready --timeout=30s developeraccount/developeraccount1
oc wait --for=condition=Ready --timeout=30s developeraccount/developeraccount1
In case of failure, the custom resource’s status field indicates if the error is transient or permanent, and provides an error message that helps fix the problem.
Notify any new developer users that they can log in to the Developer Portal. You might also need to communicate their log-in credentials.
You can update or delete a deployed DeveloperAccount custom resource in the same way that you update or delete any other custom resource. However, when you delete a DeveloperAccount CR, the 3scale operator does not actually delete it. If you try to deploy a new DeveloperAccount CR that has the same name as a DeveloperAccount CR that you deleted, you receive a message that a DeveloperAccount CR with that name already exists. You must specify a different name for the new DeveloperAccount CR.
8.12.3. Managing 3scale developer users by deploying DeveloperUser custom resources Link kopierenLink in die Zwischenablage kopiert!
When you use the 3scale operator to install 3scale you can deploy DeveloperUser custom resources (CRs) for managing developer access to 3scale-managed APIs in the Developer Portal. The procedure provided here is for deploying a new DeveloperUser CR. After you deploy a DeveloperUser CR, the procedure for updating or deleting it is the same as for any other CR.
You can deploy CRs only in the namespace that contains the 3scale operator.
Prerequisites
- An understanding of how the 3scale operator identifies the tenant that a custom resource links to.
There is at least one deployed
DeveloperAccountcustom resource that contains at least one deployedDeveloperUserCR for a user who has theadminrole. If you are creating aDeveloperUsercustom resource that does not link to the default tenant in the 3scale instance that is in the same namespace then the namespace that will contain theDeveloperUserCR contains a secret that identifies the tenant that theDeveloperUserCR links to. The name of the secret is one of the following:-
threescale-provider-account - User defined
This secret contains the URL for a 3scale instance and a token that contains credentials for access to one tenant in that 3scale instance.
-
-
For a new
DeveloperUsercustom resource, you have that developer’s user name, password, and email address.
Procedure
In the namespace that contains the 3scale operator, create and save a resource file that defines a secret that contains the user name and password for a developer user. For example, the
myusername02.yamlfile might contain:Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow Create the secret. For example:
oc create -f myusername02.yaml
oc create -f myusername02.yamlCopy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow For the given example, the output would be:
secret/myusername02 created
secret/myusername02 createdCopy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow Create and save a
.yamlfile that defines aDeveloperUserCR. In thespec.rolefield, specifyadminormember. For example, thedeveloperuser02.yamlfile might contain:Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow In a
DeveloperUserCR:-
The developer user name (specified in the
metadata.namefield), the user name, and email must be unique in the tenant that the containingDeveloperAccountlinks to. -
The
developerAccountReffield must specify the name of a deployedDeveloperAccountCR. -
The tenant that a
DeveloperUserCR links to must be the same tenant that the specifiedDeveloperAccountCR links to.
-
The developer user name (specified in the
Create the resource you just defined. For example:
oc create -f developefuser02.yaml
oc create -f developefuser02.yamlCopy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow For the given example, the output would be:
developeruser.capabilities.3scale.net/developeruser02 created
developeruser.capabilities.3scale.net/developeruser02 createdCopy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow
Next steps
It takes a few seconds for the 3scale operator to update the 3scale configuration to reflect new or updated custom resources. To check whether the operator is propagating custom resource information successfully, check the DeveloperUser custom resource status field or run the oc wait command, for example:
oc wait --for=condition=Ready --timeout=30s developeruser/developeruser02
oc wait --for=condition=Ready --timeout=30s developeruser/developeruser02
In case of failure, the custom resource’s status field indicates if the error is transient or permanent, and provides an error message that helps fix the problem.
Notify any new developer users that they can log in to the Developer Portal. You might also need to communicate their log-in credentials.
You can update or delete a deployed DeveloperUser custom resource in the same way that you update or delete any other custom resource. However, when you delete a DeveloperUser CR, the 3scale operator does not actually delete it. If you try to deploy a new DeveloperUser CR that has the same account name, user name, or email as a DeveloperUser CR that you deleted, you receive a message that the DeveloperUser CR already exists. You must specify a different developer user account name, user name, or email for the new DeveloperUser CR.
8.13. Limitations of 3scale operator capabilities Link kopierenLink in die Zwischenablage kopiert!
In Red Hat 3scale API Management 2.11, 3scale operator contains these limitations with capabilities:
- Deletion of a backend custom resource definition (CRD) is not reconciled: existing backends in 3scale will not be deleted.
- Deletion of a product CRD is not reconciled: existing products in 3scale will not be deleted.
- Deletion of DeveloperAccount or DeveloperUser custom resources is not reconciled. While the operator receives the deletion event, the operator does not act on the event. The developer account or developer user remains. If you try to create a new developer account or developer user with the same account name, username or email address as a custom resource that you deleted, you receive an error that the account already exists. You must specify different parameters to create the account.
- Product CRD does not support Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication for the Admin and Developer portals.
- Product CRD does not support OpenID Connect authentication .
- ActiveDocs CRD not currently available.
- Gateway Policy CRD not currently available.
- Product CRD Gateway does not support response custom code and errors
- 3scale operator CRD holding OAS3 does not reference as source of truth for 3scale product configuration.
